Answer #3

It’s difficult to say because most of the times these questions are regulated by the states in the US. When I was younger in my homestate it was possible to move out at age 16, actually, that was the age your parents could throw you out. I live in Washington now and that definitely doesn’t seem to be the case.

Your best bet is finding a friend’s family to live with, possibly request your mother give up her paternal rights and your friend’s family could adopt you. Or you could just ask to move in with them with your mother’s permission. You haven’t mentioned a father, but if he’s alive and around you should probably consider him, or a grandparent first. They should at least know of your mother’s issues and a state would give them custody if she is found to be unfit. That being said proving your mother is an unfit parent is difficult at best, though she may not be willing to go through the trial process and be willing to transfer your custody to someone else.
